Do you have any links say that they are? I don't see how they could, they both have legitimate rights to the name. However Nissan Computers got it first. The only real option as I see it is to buy it off of Nissan Computers. I wonder how many hits they get from us car guys?

Well... that's true... but if you look at cases out there now... Madonna got madonna.com, honda is trying to take down all sites using the name 'honda' out there... and there are a bunch of other cases like these out there...

I think your wrong. They got it long before Nissan was on the web, and his last name is Nissan.

90% of visitors to expect to see cars at nissan.com, but thats not the owners fault as he had it long before, back in 94, plus his business name is legaly registered.

If my family name was Datsun, no mf can tell me to stop or restrict using my family name. I love the Maxima, but with ridiculous suits out there, it is very shameful. Shame on you Nissan Motors USA.

yeah but whoever got the madonna.com didn't have a legit reason for owning it.
in this case, nissan is the guy's family name for generations, it's on the brith certificate, long before nissan motor came into business. so...

im just saying that the fool's misusing the site. he is doing everything totally legitamately, but his motives for having the site up are wrong. he's using the nissan name and its popularity to gain visitors. that, in turn is gaining him web revenue. i count at least TEN web revenue links on the main page of nissan.com. those links dont even have anything to do with the nissan computer business. if you go under his product listing, it hasnt been updated in ages. HIS NISSAN BASHING PAGE IS UPDATED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN HIS PRODUCT LIST. WTF is that? He has this nicely done site saying "boo hoo, im poor nissan computer co, being bullied by nissan motor co. please pity me. dont buy nissans anymore because they want our website." ive emailed the ******* a million time. he replies to me in a pleasant manner ONLY when i dont critisize him for doing anythign wrong. when i even mention the web revenue links on his main page, he never responds. ive tried many times and from many email addresses. in general, his sorry *** doesnt deserve the nissan.com name.

WoodEar

his motivation is to make money, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. wouldn't you??

MaximaZero

like i said, fool's doing everyting legally. i cant argue with that. just pisses me off to see nissan.com exploited like that. he also uses his site to bash on nissan indirectly with all the feedback on his nissan bashing pages.

TexMaximum

He did not exploite them, as he had nissan.com before car companies even thought about the web. I don't think back in 94 he though, I'll register my last name because its also a car company that will want it soon. Give me a brake.

And like woodear says, now if hes trying to make money off it, good for him!

It upsets me too that Nissan is doing this. They could buy the site from him, everyone has their price if they want it that bad.
